It seems Renato Sanches' timing is as bad as his 12-month disastrous loan spell with Swansea City.

For on the day the Swans' seven-year stay in the top flight of English football was effectively ended with Huddersfield's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, did Bayern Munich midfielder Sanches go on to social media to sympathise with the Liberty Stadium fans as they face Championship football next season?

No.

Unfortunately, he decided to post on his official Twitter account that a Renato Sanches emoji was on its way and showed three pictures of it.

His post had all the timing of a broken wristwatch.

And if Swansea fans weren't already upset seeing their club effectively drop into the second tier, alongside Stoke and West Brom this summer, the news of a Sanches' emoji merely stoked up their rage even more.

Since making his much heralded move to South Wales from the German giants last summer, the 20-year-old Portuguese international has been top of the flops at the Liberty Stadium, making just 12 starts and three appearances off the bench, in league and cup, with no goals.
